Because gas prices are too expensive, but EVs have way too many downsides for me to even consider one replacing ice vehicles
The only thing stopping me is the price. ICE vehicles are close to normal price but hybrids and electrics are expensive. I wanted a Jeep 4xe but the markup on it far outweighs anything I save on convenience and gas. I don’t drive a lot though.
Every morning I go by a entire lot filled with Jeep 4xe's they can't sell because they are too damned expensive. At least a couple hundred of them. Where I am as well even the base model they priced just right so it doesn't get any government incentives or kicks backs for buying a EV or Hybrid which makes it one of the most expensive options in the category.
